[Hot springs] Wrong move friend...( Sapphire, Graecus, Vuil)

[Ximal]

Feeling the solid blow connect to his face Xi leered at him. catching the money pouch with his left hand. Tossing the money up and down in the air, Xi stood facing him. Something about his current posture was wrong it was almost liro-esque still he stood there no trace nor attempt to hide himself even as Saph followed him. Then the thief went on blubbering about not killing him. Having nothing to live for. Other than life itself. Xi sighed, folded his arms glaring down at the boy-thief. Xi spoke some what hardly but with a tone of no malice. "Then live, i wanted my money not your life , if i'd wanted your life i could have ended it with that punch, two inches higher or lower and you'd be a dead thief. Rather than a cowering thief." Xi knew he was being hard but he was being honest too. He was sobbing as Xi stared at him. Then Saph inquired as to whether he had any family or not. It was a fair question though Xi already knew the answer...If he had to steal the answer was more than likely no. "If your going to stay here i have two conditions. One you don't try to steal again. Two i know your name." Xi turned his huge frame and headed back to his clothes placing the money back, and re-assembling his gear before spreading the money out amongst all the little pouches along his body pack. Xi then waded back into the water again but not as far as last time. "Thief, i'm not a monster,,,,Though i may look like one." And feel like one. "I'm sorry about your jaw. It'll heal in a day or two. And this tells you, only steal from those you know you can escape." The aura of anger surrounding Xi began to dissipate as he sat in the water. Oddly this is one of the few placed he felt at absolute peace. Saphs presence helped him focus tremendously. Almost as if his wall against liro was stronger. When separated though the wall felt like it crumbled faster. Or maybe Liro just got more ravenous against Xi for being able to hold him back? What ever it was it wasn't pleasant. As Xi sat in the water he began to think about a singe set of words. It was what he was going to name one of his strongest attacks. An attack so fast and so powerful it would feel like a hundred strikes at one area. Xi didn't mind if the thief joined them, in the water, so long as he abided xi's conditions. If he broke them Xi would break his arm...

[Graecus Kaer]

Graecus wiped his tears and the blood off his mouth. His eyes wide at the statement that this giant could have killed him with one punch. He slowly tried to regain his cool. He slowly started shimming his way back up the wall til he was standing. He took a breath to try and calm his last nerve. Graecus looked toward the woman with a pained smile, "No, I have no one. My parents left when I was three seasons old, every since I have been on my own. I have gotten used to the loneliness that this world brings," Graecus spoke with little emotion in his voice. He wiped the blood off his lip again and looked at his hand. Graecus looked back to the man and listened to the two conditions that the man had laid down. "I won't try to steal again from you, sir, and that's a promise," Graecus spoke his words hard to at least let the man know that he was being serious. He watched as the giant, muscular man walked back and spread the coin in different places along his things. He watched again as he waded into the warm water again. "As for my name, my name is Graecus. My friends," Graecus stopped the sentence cold as he remembered that he had left his friends for a more Independent life. "I mean, my old gang, I don't hang with them anymore, used to call me Grae for short." Graecus listened to the mans words about himself and how he is not, in fact, a monster. "I understand why you hit me, though I've never met a mortal man who could strike with such force, not that I've met an immortal." Graecus moved his hand over his jaw to rub the spot that the man had hit. "I've also never met two people who could run so fast in my life," Graecus spoke with a smirk as he tried to add two plus two together, "So, what's your story about how you can move so fast? I can tell you have a little bit more than just human blood, both of you." Graecus spoke again while taking his shirt off slowly to reveal the pale skin that his shirt hid. He undid the rest and walked slowly into the water, with a 4 or 5 meters between him and this giant. "If I may ask, what is your name?"

[Sapphire]

The man, Grae as he called himself, was now promising that he would not steal from Xi again. He really didn't have any family, not even friends. It almost brought tears in to her eyes. He seemed in awe of how quickly Sapphire and Ximal could move. He was right, there was no way she could be an ordinary human. To respond to this, Sapphire merely morphed in to her tiger form and licked his face . She then merely padded her way in to the water and swam around some. She didn't need to speak, no one asked her any questions, no one gave her any commands. All she needed to do was enjoy the moment. She had made a new friend, though he had just received a major beat down from Ximal, so she couldn't be happier.

[Ximal]

Xi starred at the boy before him. Xi's huge frame diminishing his in every sense. Abandoned as a child, rough life. Then he promised he wouldn't steal from Xi again. And what was with the sir? Graceus, the would be thief's name...So he'd left his old friends 'gang' to strike it out on his own. If he was like that...He wouldn't be lasting much longer. "Well at least you've learned the importance of fast feet. Also as far as the old friends go. It would be a smart idea to try and find a new group. In this city unless your savagely strong. Stupendously smart. Cantankerously cunning. Or Lightning fast. You wont last long on your own. Not long in the slightest." The he want on about both Xi and Saph's speed. Xi'd used a quick flux burst to propelled himself towards, the little brat, but he'd almost torn a ligament in the process. Raw emotion was not the best way to use his flux. But Xi wouldn't reveal his secret so easily. Then He suggested that their might be more than just human blood in Xi and saph. Well he'd gotten saph right a the very least. As soon as he'd mentioned it Saph changed into her tiger form. Still a beautiful sight whether in her huge beast form or in her sublime and enticing human form. Xi then took his chance to shock the little thief some more. "Unlike my female companion here i'm completely human. I gained that speed and strength through rigours training. That and it helps when your work involves you moving heavy weights ofr a living. You build muscle fast." As if wearing his muscular form a a badge of honour he folded his arms. But that slweel f pride came at a cost. OH so that's the little petcher that tried to steal from us. Hello Xi i'm back...AND I'M PISSED! Liro's assault on Xi's mind was like driving daggers into his brain he could feel every pang of pain as if it was a real stab. The were jolting him everywhere, He winced once ot twice but otherwise looked normal. That and he was feeling the after effects of his huge jolt off of his leg at the boy. "Saph are you going to come in the springs again in your tiger form? You'll smell of wet fur all day..." Not that you ming you dirty little... Oh petch off and stay petch offed...

[Graecus Kaer]

Graecus felt the warm tongue run up his cheek. He let out a small laugh as he felt the rough tongue of the cat on his face. Graecus listened to the man as he spoke about being with a group or having some super trait that you could exploit. Graecus smirked in a, I know something you don't know, kind of way."I understand what you mean about needing some sort of super trait, but I have a few tricks up my sleeve," Graecus spoke with a somewhat bragging tone to it. Graecus told the two, but he wasn't going to say the two tricks that he knows. He looked back over to the Kelvic tiger swimming around. He smiled at the way the cat was enjoying her time in the warm water. He looked back over and saw that the man was looking over at her too. Then the man looked back at him as the man boosted about how he gained such power, but Graecus could tell it was a load of shyke. He let the lie slide, but he would have to question the matter later. Graecus's eyes ogled over the mans muscles on his arms and chest for the first time. Graecus's mind was brought back when he heard the man wince, and it gained some of Graecus's more animal side's attention as he tilted his head a little to the side with a questioning look on his face, "Are you okay sir? You seem pained. Or at least bothered by something," The words slipped out of his mouth without his meaning to. He cursed himself in his head for his nature. He looked back over to the Kelvic woman and looked back and saw that they had a relationship, just a little bit more than a friendship, still developing. Graecus turned to the two so he could see more or less both of them. "Okay, I have to tell because she is taunting me,"Graecus pointed over to the tiger, "I too am a Kelvic. I'm not some furious beast like you, I am a more humble creature," Graecus stopped there, he didn't want to bother them, and he wanted to know if they were interested at all.

[Vuil]

It had been a long while since she had been able to move. That sparkling woman had told her not to move much for a little while longer, give her side more time to heal. But she just could not stay still any longer, lying here while there were things to do. And while she did enjoy the time to relax, she found herself growing bored. She'd have a night on the town, maybe go searching for her mystery man. A smile pulled at her lips. Liro, she hadn't seen him since that night. That was it then, she was to go looking for him. She pushed herself to her feet, feeling her body stiff with sleep and disuse. Well, perhaps a soak would be in order first. Stepping lightly, the Kelvic made her way through the camp and into the Sunberth streets. Her side didn't hurt nearly as much anymore, the bone set and healing. Though it did still twinge, she hid it, remembering what Cham had told her. She needed to seem healthy, lest she draw unwanted attention. Her eyes scanned the buildings around her, lips twitching into a light smile as she came upon the bath house. The greeting was warm, and for just a few coins, she could spend as long as she liked soaking away her troubles. She didn't plan on staying all that long, just enough to limber up slightly. Her clothes were discarded, being careful of how she bent to prevent her side from moving too much. Vuil was fairly certain the bone wasn't broken anymore, but she didn't really want to take a chance. Piling her clothes into a corner, she turned to head into the water. However, her original plan was tossed aside she came upon her target. What luck! To find him here, in the bath house! Vuil's footsteps were quick and quiet, coming up beside the man, effectively cutting into the conversation he was having. "Well, it's nice to see you again, Liro~" She cooed, hands running up his chest to wrap around his neck, pulling herself up to land a kiss on his lips.

[Sapphire]

What in the world had just happened!? Liro? Sapphire thought his name was Ximal! Could hhe have been lying to her? Who was this lady and what was she doing with Xi? It's not like Sapphire was in love with Xi, how could she be? He was her master. She wasn't supposed to love him, but when this woman kissed him something just snapped. She morphed back in to her human form and raised her hand in the air, bringing it down on the Lady's face.

[Ximal]

Xi sat quietly in the water just letting it flow around him the warmth glittering over his bare skin. Xi looked straight at grae hearing him talk. Xi's voice was calm, cool but not with out a friendly tone as he responded to grae's rise to his sentiments. " A super trait is one way to put it i prefer to think of it as a survival skill. One thing you can barter with above all others. Be indispensable." Then he caught the young man across the room staring at his muscular frame? Was he in awe or...Was he batting for the other team? Xi pondered a moment as he looked across the spring at the smaller man. Who claimed to have his own power. Then he revealed it...He was a kelvic? Well they do come in all shapes and sizes he supposed...Why not a scrawny thief? some thing niggled him about the current predicament. Then liro decided to rear his ugly head yet again. I don't see why you don't just let me kill the little bastard he stole from us. Anyone else in sun berth who'd caught him may have killed him...Your too soft... And your a degenerate asshole... Xi you flatter me... Xi was getting annoyed with liro for more reasons than he cared to admit. Then as the small thief across the pool asked him if he was alright xi just kept his eyes closed and responded in the same cool tone. "Yes i'm fine i'm just...Dealing with a headache at the moment. One i've had for a long time..." Xi sat quietly, uncareingly in the pool for a few moments, then he felt hands run up his chest and latch around his neck. Within seconds of them doing that he realizes that they weren't saphs hands these were smaller...Then the voice...Liro...he'd only ever given that name to one women and it was the one whom liro had...His face glowed lightly beneath his beard. He felt soft lips make contact with his small, soft...His body remembered them. But he didn't...His eyes snapped open to see vuil...Then liro acted up. WELL WELL WELL...If it isn't the little girl who's mind i destroyed. And that's not all i destroyed...Nehehehe. Let me out i want to speak to her again. Remember that day Xi, the day i first took the name Liro...Your alias turned against you...Well now that name has meaning to you. Corruption, passion, instinct, lust, focus, immoral...Well I'm happy to wear the name as a badge of honour... Xi peeled himself away from the kiss, and pushed vu back a bit before looking straight in to her olive green eyes...His body responded a little strangely, then saph hand came down inches infront of his face. Xi stopped her hand before it went any lower with his forearm. Right now his mind was utterly blank and he needed to recuperate... "Wh-what's..." Xi wanted to talk and tryto explain things but his mind couldn't handle it. It went blank. Liro was now clawing hard and fast and xi had no way to stop him. For a few moments mentally....Xi was helpless....

[Graecus Kaer]

Graecus listened to how the man responded to his earlier statement about a super trait, which he called a survival skill. Graecus could see how to two were related somehow. Graecus saw that the man noticed how he had awed at his frame and it made Graecus's pale face become red for the blood running to his face from embarrassment. "I... I'm sorry... I... Never mind," Graecus gave up his attempt to save what his eyes had done. He watched as the man looked at him with a little bit of a shock which faded into a 'I can see that' moment when Graecus spoke about his true nature. He watched as the man seemed to be fighting with something in his head. The thought of it brought a frown across his face. 'Dealing with a headache, huh? That sucks... I mean I have had a few headaches from when I was not having enough water and those pissed me off. To have one for a long time would drive me insane.' Graecus thought to himself. Graecus closed his eyes as he sighed and let the air out of his lungs slowly and relaxed his body. After a few minutes he opened them again and saw a woman, a little bit shorter than Graecus walk up to the man and call him Liro as she kissed him. The sight almost took him breath away from seeing it. His eyes opened wide as he looked over to the tiger as she shifted back to backhand the woman, but just as it should have struck her 'Liro' caught the hand. Graecus was flabbergasted at the scene he was watching unfold at the moment. Graecus knew he needed to act to try and stop this. The man named Liro seemed to not have an idea so he knew he had to get involved for the greater good. He sprung in between the two woman before anything could happen. "Stop! Stop fighting right now! This isn't the place. This is a place of peace a achieving inner calmness," Graecus spoke fast because he knew time was limited at this point.

[Vuil]

Vuil made a soft protest as Liro pushed her away gently, blinking up curiously at the taller male. He seemed confused. Did he not remember her? That was upsetting, but only for a moment. She'd just have to make him remember her. Vuil had been completely focused on the man, only briefly noting the bright light of the tiger's shift. It wasn't until Liro caught the woman's hand that Vuil had any awareness of her. Blinking in surprise, the kelvic looked up at the woman who had attempted to strike her, eyes narrowing into an angry glare. Thin arms released their hold on the man, standing to face the woman. She was taller than her, but that didn't matter to the girl's mind. Vuil didn't give the boy who jumped between them a second glance, a snarl on her lips. "Kid, you are about to have the very unfortunate pleasure of being caught in the middle of a cat fight." She hissed, green eyes shifting from the woman's face to his. "Move."
